| Where can I find one of these? Ive tried all the usual places, emart, homever and general electronic stores in my city but to no avail. Could one of these be located in Seoul, or do they exist at all here? |

There is NO power adapter (transformer) for UK to Korea / Korea to UK. They use the same voltage (220-250VAC).
If you have something that is frequency sensitive (the difference between 50 and 60Hz) then you are out of luck.
If you mean a plug adapter, then the street side of the nanjin arcade across the tracks from Yongsan station will have them (but they are not common and you will have to dig around).
It might just be easier to cut the plug end off the cord and put a Korean end on it. You can change it back when you go home again. |

He's right, power wise the uk is fine everywhere in the world; your electronics will be fine, for the record. the market style electronic places all sell three point adapters. |

It means you can use it anywhere in the world as long as you have the plug adapter to plug it in. You do not need a transformer. |
